CONWAY — The default budget is $198,320 lower than the 2019-20 proposed operating budget of $38,328,279 that the Conway School Board is recommending.
For the second year in a row, the default budget is lower than the proposed operating budget. For the two years prior to that, it had been higher than what was being proposed.
